Hasek back in net ... not for us

So when I read this story about Dominik Hasek coming back to play in the Czech Republic, I think of two things ...

-- Good for him to play if he wants to play. I don't like the "tarnished image" talk when a legend plays at an advanced age. Hasek's greatness won't change. He's just not great any more.

-- I really wish I could have seen him play with this club when he was winning titles in the late 80s. I feel a bit shortchanged not seeing all of the career of the athlete who I consider to be the best goaltender ever.
